We left Borrego Springs on the 11th and we sure miss it !!

We arrived at Valencia Travel Village within 6 hours of leaving BS as it is near LA and Magic Mountain, we shopped at Costco in that time too. Wednesday the floors were torn out of the RV and yesterday the sub floor was put in, so by Monday we well be out of here with new floors, Karndean wood-look rubber planks, very hardy and good for dogs! Here is the website. Highly recommended for wear and tear, this is commercial flooring and it looks pretty authentic.

But enough about that, here are some photos of the Palm Canyon Hike in spring bloom taken last Saturday when we were still in BS. Us gals, heretofore to be known as the Borrego Broads, Susie, Brenda, Joanie and myself did this Palm Oasis hike to see the flowers amongst all the rock and it was a gorgeous day, like all Borrego days! There are more hikes than days of the year to do in Borrego Springs and the surrounding Anza Borrego Park, this one is one of the shorter ones, about 2 hours up and down. Unless you are taking a hundred photos and then it gets a bit longer! We hiked up the alternated trail to the Palms. Even though we left at 8 in the morning it was already very warm so the Palms with the water running through them was a great respite from the sun. There was a very large number of people on that hike as the desert flowers of Borrego had been on the San Diego news and in the Wall Street Journal this week. The town was full of cars, we actually had to look before crossing the road! Hope you enjoy the photos that I have selected out of over a hundred that I took on the hike!
And this webpage tells more about this hike.

I will update next with finished photos of the RV and a collection of shots I took while driving out of BS next post.

Can you see Susie at the bottom of the Palms, she looks pretty tiny at their base!

There are 2 people sitting on the top rock at the base of the Palms if you can see them!

So beautiful isn't it?
